Fitness Level 1/5: A basic level of fitness required to enjoy this course to it's fullest
Below is a description of the skill levels suited:
Level 1. Beginner
A total beginner or you want to start again. Taking a lesson is by far the best way to begin your snowboarding experience. We’ll give you the basic skills ensuring learning is fun and confidence is built.
Maybe you’ve done a little before, are able to slide on both edges, but are not yet turning from one to another.
Level 2. Improver
You are able to do basic turns in both directions, heelside and toeside, on green and easy blue runs although you may find one easier than the other. Now you’re able to link turns a little encouragement & technical input goes a long way in progressing your snowboarding. We will help you build on those basic skills and start exploring the mountain.
Benefit from 5 full days of coaching in small groups. Coaching runs for 5 days, with a day off mid-week to relax and recuperate or to head out on the slopes and enjoy your new skills.
Day 1: Learning the foundations of snowboarding. We will teach you the skills and techniques which will form the basis of your future riding style.
Day 2: Teaching you the basics of movement skills which paired with the skills and techniques learnt on Day 1 will keep you progressing with confidence.

Signed up as a solo traveler for one of the snowboard camps running in December. Was such a good experience. All the instructors were very skilled and very patient, adapting for every member of the group. Great value and a great way to progress quickly over the week.

This was my fourth incredible trip to Morzine with the MINT gang. Tammy and Laura are amazing instructors who deliver top class tuition in a really fun way. In fact, the energy and passion of the whole Mint team is infectious and I can’t believe how much I’ve progressed. If you’re a solo traveler then don’t miss the progression camps – I had so much fun and made some great shredding buddies.
It really doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner, intermediate or an advanced rider – you’ll still learn a lot and have great fun with the MINT team. In a week I not only managed to perfect my riding and learn a whole lot of new stuff but also met amazing people with whom I still keep in touch. I HIGHLY recommend MINT Snowboarding to anyone who wants to learn, ride and share your experience together with people who are as passionate about snowboarding as you are.
My week of snowboarding with MINT was the best 1-week-activity camp I’ve ever been to (and the standards are high, as I’ve been to many surf camps and some other winter sports camps too). The whole package (place, accommodation, instructors, food, other participants) was perfect. In one word: perfect vibe!
I have never progressed so much so soon. And I had a great time too! Tammy and her team are fun to be around, enthusiastic and have a great system of teaching. Cant wait to come back!
Simply THE BEST snowboard school out there! This was my fourth incredible trip to Morzine with the MINT gang. Top class tuition delivered in a really fun way. The energy and passion of the whole MINT team is infectious and I can’t believe how much I’ve progressed.
